The effects of epistasis and linkage on the invasion of locally beneficial mutations and the evolution of genomic islands

This study examines how epistasis and linkage influence the invasion of beneficial mutations and the formation of genomic islands in a population model.

Loss of genetic variation in the two-locus multiallelic haploid model

The paper demonstrates that in a two-locus multiallelic haploid model, monomorphism is a global attractor under specific fitness conditions, and no isolated equilibrium exists with unequal allele numbers.
